The Springer journal Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry (ABC) has given its Best Paper Award 2014 to Elise Dennis, a PhD candidate in analytical chemistry at Indiana University in Bloomington, US. Worth €1500, the award is designed to honor execeptional young scientists and stimulate their research careers.

'This is an excellent contribution to the further instrumental development of TOFMS where a new mass spectrometer concept was demonstrated,' said Klaus Heumann, editor of ABC. 'By combining two types of TOFMS, complete mass-spectral coverage and enhanced resolution is provided which makes this development a highlight in mass spectrometry.'
